Pros

*Ability to become knowledgeable of multiple therapeutic areas (sometimes this could be a pro and a con). *Benefits are good

Cons

* Manages workload by FTE vs utilization. Thus, you could exceed the company's 8-10 DOS metrics monthly. * CTLs can be a bit micromanaging. * Sometimes you can feel like a number vs an employee.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
